The Last Daughter (Electronic book text)

Domestic Violence is a Nation's silent shame. It may be a different time; a different country and even a new era, but silence guarantees that the cycle of abuse continues. This is a true story about Angel. Angel is the product of generational tragedies and due to years of silence, history repeats itself over and over again. Her family's silence about the deep wounds from slavery, Indian removal and biracial marriage has helped to seed a pathology of shame, unworthiness and acceptance. Angel realizes that this silence endangers future generations and is determined to finish the quilt of shame, so that its power is broken. Angel calls out to every grandmother, mother, sister, aunt and daughter to promise to be the one to end the cycle of abuse, pledging that they will be the last daughter.
